June 8, 2024 – Lather Games: Day 8
- Brush: Zenith Boar
- Razor: Tatara Muramasa
- Blade: Astra SP (Green)
- Lather: Maggard Razors – Orange Menthol
- Post Shave: West Coast Shaving – Chypre
I received this soap as an add-on from the bazaar a long time ago. I never use it. I love Maggard Razors, but I’m not fond of this soap, especially the scent. There are only a few citrus forward scents that I really like, and this isn’t one of them. I also don’t find the soap to be a great performer. To be fair, I got this several years ago, and their soap may have drastically improved. I only use it for this type of event. It’s a shame since I find the store itself magnificent in satisfying my shaving needs.
One of the citrus scents I do like is WCS Chypre, which I thought would be a great aftershave for this soap. It compliments the soap quite well.
Today’s Challenge: My largest and possibly stupidest purchases is from Murphy and McNeil. I bought all kind of soaps and matching aftershaves since they were having a pre-owned items sale . I figured I could add just enough to get free shipping on top of the great deals. Before I knew it, my bill was around $90. This may not be a lot for some people, but I don’t think I’ll be needing any soaps or aftershaves for quite awhile. Well, that’s kind of untrue. I don’t think you can ever have too many shaving supplies, so it won’t stop me from buying more products in the near future. However, I will be limiting myself to only a few items at a time.
